Hello, I can answer your second question...
Frames can be used to achieve the effect of two seperate windows, one
can refresh while the other stays as-is.
For a client editor...
Some javascript to add tags on the client side would be fairly simple to
create, just create some custom tags for display to clients then when
submitted use PHP's str_replace function to search for your custom tags
then replace with some HTML before it hits the forums,

Hey guys (and girl...as we have one on the list...(that i know of)),
Can anybody recommend a real bare bones forum that i can modify
or
a tutorial for creating a forum
or
URLs/Classes etc to help me create a simple forum?
I checked on google but I couldnt find any tutorials or code, went to
hot-scripts and saw a _c r a p l o a d_ of forums (for free and otherwise)
but I have a client who insists I build him a forum which must fall
_exactly_
to his specifications and work of our currently registered users database.
Worse scenario, I will dl a few of the forums from hotscrpts and go through
each of their code...but I would like to avoid that if anyone can give me a
better option.
2nd question
I will need a kind of "client editor" for when people write their messages
into the forum,
eg: make this bold and that italics and that centered and that with an image
and so on
I had actually seen a (dhtml, I think) form some time back where you could
preview your
message at the side as you made changes...somewhat like what google has for
their
ad-cents accounts where you can change the colors of your ad and immediatly
it shows the
changes at the side in a box.
I remember sometime back someone posting some WYSIWYG kind of editors which
loads
on the clients machine with just a textbox and the buttons to go bold,
italics,centered etc
unfortunatly looking into the archives i cant find it.
Thanks,
Ryan
